Maddie's Doin' Fine

After an MRI today (where she had her leg and head shaved a bit), we found out Maddie doesn't have cancer. Instead, she has, in short, a serious case of arthritis that's beginning to pinch one part of her spine. There's not much we can do except give her medication and make sure she doesn't go up and down the stairs over the next two weeks to limit the stress on her body and allow it to heal a bit.
